I think of this as a hidden gem of a restaurant in the Hudson Yards/South Hell's Kitchen neighborhood. It also feels classy but with a tinge of being part of the neighborhood. The staff is also amazingly helpeful. Everything from the menu is delightful, from the calamari to the cacio e. pepe. Oh and the gelato is out of this world too. I will say that the one minor downside is that the menu is on the smaller side. I think it is a plus, because it makes decision making easier. However, if you want everything underneath the sun from Italy, this might not be the place for you. read more

The amatriciana was really good, definitely my favorite dish. I love the homemade pasta. The vegetables were all good, and the gelato was great to end the meal. The staff were so attentive. The restaurant feels intimate and cozy because it is quite small and dimly lit. read more

This is my favourite Italian restaurant in NYC by far. Fantastic pizzas and cocktails and decent service too. This place never disappoints!

Highly recommended Home away from home Watched the world cup final and it was crazy busy but they welcomed us all and made sure everyone had a place to seat and enjoy the food and the match. Extra friendly staff specially Steve, the bartender! Ordered calamary and pizza, all freshly made and delicious! Great ambiance too! Will come back next time we are in New York read more

Really nice ambience and service. The only reason we didn't give 5 stars was because the focaccia was nothing special for the extra cost. The rest of the food was lovely and we will return for the pasta :) 4.5 stars read more

Came on a Friday around 8, place was surpisingly empty. But the food was phenomenal... both the pizza and pasta.

I had a really great experience here this past week and tried their food for the first time! My friend and I walked in without a reservation and were seated right away. Our server was super sweet and the service was quick and efficient. I had the "Look What She's Having Cocktail," which came with the most fun presentation! Thank goodness they told me to get my phone out because it was definitely an Insta-worthy presentation. The cocktail itself was super fresh and the strawberry flavor was prominent, which I loved. I did think it was pricey. Every signature cocktail is $19. For my entree, I had the cacio e pepe. The pasta is homemade and cooked perfectly al dente. I thought the flavor of the sauce was good, but could have been a bit more peppery. Overall, I would definitely come back here! It is a little pricey for what it is, but I enjoyed my experience, read more

3 stars feels like such a bad review, but honestly it was just okay. I got pasta amatriciana (one of my favorites) and it was just okay. I will say that their espresso martini was elite though, and the bartenders were gorgeous lol read more

Food is absolutely delicious. Incredible meat in our pasta, was sliced thin and cooked perfectly. Friendly service. Vibe is what you expect at an Italian place. read more

We stumbled upon this place after a show at the Shed and thought it was just okay! The Brussels sprouts threw me for a loop - they seemed to just be steamed with almost no seasoning. Would not recommend. The portobello mushrooms were yummy, and so were the two pasta dishes we got--amatriciana and the gnocchi special. The drinks were also okay. Service was also so-so. It started out great but the food was slower to come out than expected. A cute rustic vibe inside and a nice calm respite that was very close to Times Square. Maybe we just ordered the wrong things tbh! read more

Stopped by right after work one evening. We had some spritz for happy hour & then ordered a few dishes. The burrata was fantastic. All in all, a solid place but nothing out of the ordinary. Reliable & good. read more

This was an unexpected stop after a long drive into NYC. It was on the hotel's list of places to go so we decided to walk over and give it a try. The restaurant is quaint and has great outdoor seating. We opted for indoor but the doors remained open and we were able to still feel the city's energy. The food was absolutely delish!! Homemade pasta made Al Dente with basil pesto .... YUMMM. I mentioned it was my husbands fiftieth bday and this was a start to his bday weekend. The server graciously comped us a desert and sang happy birthday! We enjoyed a nice bottle of wine and walked back to Our hotel happy and full! read more

It's a solid italian place. Depending on the dish you get, the pasta is fresh, and it's cooked to the right amount. Pizza is pretty good too - it's neapolitan style. It's cozy but also nice at the same time, and it's not too loud in there. The servers are pretty attentive too. read more

Longo Bros - Carbonara - Pizza Near Me - New York, New York

Nothing about this experience to write home about, it was exceedingly average in every respect. The fried meatballs app comes with no sauce and while the meatballs taste ok the exterior is pretty tough. My friend's salmon was dry and had some bones in it. It happens, but is part of what makes this meal average. For 5 stars it needs to be moist and bone free. I had the pizza which was ok, but nothing special and not worth $25 for a bar sized pie. Crust/dough was the best part though it couldn't support the cheese. Service was slowish and a bit awkward. Noise level is restaurant is pretty high even when half full. I see no reason to return with so many other options in the neighborhood. read more

Came back and continue to love this place! The clams linguine and Diavola pizza were outstanding. We also got the carbonara, which was good but my least favorite. Also got a side of Brussel sprouts to balance out all the carbs - a little mushy but still good. Highly recommend! read more

My favorite thing about this place is that everything is made from scratch and is fresh. It's not very lively in there but it's probably because it was lunch time. The service was great and she was very attentive to us. The double cheeseburger I will say was not Five Guys level but it was dedefinitely still amazing with that egg on it. If you're near the Javits center and want a chill spot this is the place. read more

Great cocktails, friendly service and a cool industrial decor make for an enjoyable experience at this Hudson Yards/Hells Kitchen restaurant. The service was a little haphazard initially but eventually our drinks came after some delay and we thoroughly enjoyed them. Don't overlook this place when it comes to cocktails! They completely undersell the mixology talent at this place -- next time you're in the area you know where to go. read more

Authentic Italian food, good ambience and friendly servers. Go for the happy hour which run every day from 12-6pm!

The food is good.. sometimes better than others. The former liquor store is unique in design with home made pasta. The salad though good could be a bit bigger. A couple of notes from a recent visit... the margarita pizza was a bit doughy note flavorful. The pasta was a bit overcooked, the cheese appetizer usually flavorful but a bit bland, and they will try to sell you a cannoli as a dessert, but what you will get is two tiny tubes with filling. read more

Simple advice: Trust bartender Jose when he pitches you the special. The home made oricchette with broccoli rabe was fantastic, fresh and full of flavor. Paired well with a zesty barolo. Nothing fancy: just solid Italian that warmed me up on a frigid December evening. I have to often travel solo, and This little spot on 9th is my new go-to spot in Hudson Yards. read more

One night I was meeting friends for dinner only to find out they were going to be late. I decided to find a place to get a drink while I waited for my friends (maybe two!). After passing two bars (one too crowded and the other closed for a private event), I came across Longo Bros. The place looked cool, with a mixture of modern and old skool design touches that absolutely appeals to me. So in I went to ask the hostess if I could hang out at the bar. Have you ever had a person look at you in such a way that it made you question if you had grown an extra head when you weren't paying attention? That's how this hostess looked at me when I asked if I could sit at the bar. She told me half the bar was reserved for a private party but I could sit anywhere on the other half. So off I went feeling a bit uneasy. My uneasiness would be fully justified before I left. I sat down at the bar. To my right was the reserved section where there about 5-6 people eating, drinking and having a grand old time. To my left, two empty seats, then a customer already eating and then two more empty seats at the end of the bar. Behind the bar were three bartenders all making drinks and looking generally busy. Okay. I've been to enough bars to know that sometimes bartenders can get overwhelmed so I waited to see if maybe they'd even get me a glass of water. And I waited. And waited. Soon enough, the two seats immediately next to me were filled by a young couple (a man and a woman). Then in another minute, the other two empty seats were taken up by two middle aged looking men. So I watch this whole settling in routine and I confess, my brain froze a bit at the next minute. As soon as these guests sat down, they had coasters and glasses for water placed in front of them in a coordinated effort by the bartenders that I had not been privileged enough to experience. I mean, the bartenders were ON IT. Talking to these two new groups like old friends while I just sat there staring wondering if by some virtue of some unknown science I had suddenly become invisible to the naked eye. In fact, I had not. I made eye contact with one of the bartenders and he seemed to realize what was happening and raced over with an empty glass and coaster and set them down in front of me. And then he ran off. At the other end of the bar I saw a different bartender whip out water bottles from some unseen location and begin pouring water for the newly arrived guests. I thought to myself "Okay, here we go, he's coming down the bar and he'll get to me." He did not, in fact, ever get to me. No, I'm serious. He poured water out for the man sitting literally less than twelve inches to my left and then STOPPED. Didn't even look at me and walked away. And yes, there was still water left in his water jar. Finally a different bartender noticed (again) my distress and came over to give me water and a bottle. But he tried to dash away AGAIN but I yelled out my order (a cocktail called "The Gentleman" ironically enough) so he acknowledged it. A few minutes later I had my drink but there was no chit chat, none of the usual bartender banter. Nope, the bartenders were too busy yapping it up in Italian with the dude next to me (he made it a point to speak Italian with them and this was a Big Deal(tm) to the staff). At no point during their conversation did anyone ever check on me or look my way. Not even the bartender who was (I kid you not) maybe only a foot away from me to my right. Look, I'm just a Chinese dude from Brooklyn. Sorry I don't speak Italian or any Romance language fluently. Sorry I don't have perfect hair or a pretty young lady on my arm when I come in. Sorry I'm wearing a T-Shirt and jeans instead of a nice dress shirt. But you know what I have? A credit card with a pretty good limit and a willingness to support a local business that treats me right. If you get my loyalty as a customer, I will spend on you regularly and at times splurge. My dollar is just as good as anyone else's. I was disgusted and finished my drink, paid my bill and left as quickly as I could. The whole experience left me feeling unsettled and gross. You may wonder, was the drink good? It was actually DAMN good. But NO drink is good enough to be treated as less than a person by any business. I will never set foot in this business again. read more

I've been to this place twice this fall in NYC and they don't miss. Both times we've sat outside on the patio with the covered heaters and it's been very enjoyable.

I came here by myself to eat some good pasta! I opted for Longo Bros as a mid range Italian restaurant and that's what it was! The servers were all very kind and host recommended I get the Carbonara. He was right! It was creamy and the guanchale was perfectly smoky and porky. I had a very pleasant experience overall but the pasta was a little undercooked for my personal liking. It would be a good date spot because of the romantic atmosphere! read more

Longo Bros - Pizza Near Me - New York, New York

Longo Bros has been a fan favorite of my work team for the past several months. They have an excellent (and well named) drink menu, some authentic Italian cuisine (ranging from shareable apps, pastas, and seasonal pizzas), and we rarely have any issues finding a same day reservation. We've enjoyed sitting outside on the front porch as well as back in the quieter spots near the kitchen. The staff is friendly and offers great suggestions based on what's available/special that evening. Favorite drinks we've ordered: rio bravo, the gentleman, 1860 old fashioned, big green apple (~$18/each). Favorite dishes we've ordered on repeat: pasta carbonara (~$25), gnocco fritto (~$15), fried meatballs (~$10), and the skirt steak (~$35). Lots to enjoy and we'll be back! read more

stopped in for dinner with 2 others last night! service was super slow for us being the only people in the restaurant for the first 30-40 mins but the food was good all around. ordered: -few beers -olives and focaccia -roasted caciocavllo cheese -carbonara pasta (spaghetti gragnano) -cacio e pepe pasta (tonnarelli) -pesto pasta (trenette) pastas were enjoyed by all, and the two I tried were *perfectly* al dente. the pesto flavor of mine was noticeably absent, though. looooved the meaty, well seasoned portobello slices especially but everything else also hit the mark. fair prices, very shareable options along with a couple of larger entrees. cocktail menu = a yes from me as it features many tequila and mezcal drinks. read more

Food 4.0/5.0 Service 4.0/5.0 Value 3.5/5.0 Decor 3.5/5.0 Overall 4.0/5.0 Seems like this place is a little mixed. I admit some of the servers are a little awkward (possibly because they are legit Italian and not just faking, and I suppose there are real cultural differences). I didn't find anything decisively bad. Food was good -- definitely no problems there. Drinks were pretty good. Would go back. read more

This is one of our favorite bars in NYC - every time we have a conference in the city this is a must stop. The espresso martinis are delicious made with fresh espresso.

I was in NY for a week and I worked pretty late nights. This place was one of the only places I could get a nice meal after 9:30pm. I went here basically 3 out of 6 nights I was in town.

Food and experience was just ok. The pizza was very thin and soggy. The pizza prices are a bit high for soggy, small pizzas. The focaccia was served with our meal instead of as an appetizer, which I wouldn't have ordered if I knew. And it didn't come with anything to dip it into like olive oil for instance. Plus they were very hard to bite. Overall just an ok experience. read more

I dropped into Longo Bros to have a restaurant week lunch. The space is nothing beautiful. The server was slow, and not very attentive. The food, however, was very good. I began with a Caprese Salad. The Tomato's were ripe, the Bufalo Mozzarella very good, and it was drizzled with high quality evoo. I ordered an Ortolano Pizza as my main. The dough was very fluffy, the Tomato sauce very fresh, and the zucchini perfectly cooked. For $30 a real bargain. I'll be back! read more

Came here for a work dinner. We sat in the back, very cute place, both outdoor and indoor seating. Nice wine and drink list. Service was good. One of the guests asked for no diary and they caught it right when the brought it out, remade it and quick. Meatballs were good, the croquettes were average. We ordered a bunch of pasta. The carbonara was a bit too Al dente, the amertiaciana was really really good. read more

This was one of the most unpleasant, nails to the chalk board dining experiences in a long time, to the point that I could not do enough to get out as fast as we could. Had we not been so short on time and expected somewhere half a block away, I would have had us leave. As it was, I raced through the meal just get out. From the unpleasant and borderline rude waitress to the cranky and angry cook feet away preparing the food, it was so uncomfortable and unwelcoming to be there. The food was okay-ish, Ialbeit very forgettable. Though who puts sardines on bruschetta? VILE!. We are near there regularly, and there isn't a chance in hell I'd ever go back. read more

High quality pizza and pasta! I tried both the Amatriciana pasta and the Crudo e Grana pizza. The pasta was tasty albeit not particularly special, with traditional tomato sauce and some pork cubes. $19 might have been a bit high for this, but still in the realm of being reasonable. The pizza was great and authentic. The prosciutto was really nice and I liked how the crust was soft and chewy. The arugula added some freshness to the savory pizza. $22 was reasonable for this pizza considering the large size of the personal pizza pie. The interior of the restaurant is spacious with a chill, peaceful vibe and clean, elegant decor. The staff are friendly and attentive. The service speed was pretty quick. We came on a Saturday night without a reservation and there were plenty of empty tables available. Overall, Longo Bros is a great spot for pizza and pasta as well as some other classic Italian options. There might not be anything particularly exceptional about this place, but it will not disappoint you if you're looking for solid Italian cuisine. read more

We had dinner over Valentine's Day weekend and we were the only two people in the entire restaurant which was indicative how the food would be. I originally booked this restaurant because I read the concept on Resy was a liquor store that expanded to a restaurant and I loved that. MEATBALLS $10 parsley, garlic, parmigiano reggiano *6 meatballs that were extremely dry and very small, tasted like they were deep fried. I had no idea what meat this was because it was so dry and crumbly. I asked for some marinara or tomato sauce on the side which showed up room temperature for the very last dry meatball which I soaked in the sauce hoping it would taste better - which it did not. CARBONARA $18 artesanal dry spagettone gragnano, smoked pancetta, organic free range eggs, pecorino sardo *I really wish I had sent this back immediately - the pasta was very undercooked almost gummy and the dish was a large portion that I picked at but did not enjoy PESTO $18 housemade trenette, basil, pine nuts, garlic, evoo, parmigiano reggiano *The pasta had a nice chew but the dish was completely flavorless, it was really confusing how that was even possible because pesto sauce is typically very flavorful. Also I think for their pastas they should have an option to add a protein because 3 out of 4 are vegetarian. MARGHERITA PIZZA $16+ $4 for mozzarella di bufala *san marzano tomatoes, evoo, mozzarella di bufala, basil tomato sauce was extremely runny, the ratio was heavy sauce and so very little cheese that the cheese slid right off and only 4 small pieces of basil. Not thrilled to pay an extra $4 for a terribly small portion of cheese - poor value. SERVICE Well I mean we were the only table and we were in and out within 40 minutes. We were extremely disappointed by the food and price. Edible but definitely not enjoyable. Yes it's a pandemic but so far this was the worst meal I've had in 2021. We boxed the two pastas because we didn't want to waste food but it was thrown in the trash anyways sigh. read more

Came for lunch over the holidays, place was completely empty so there was no wait. Tried two salads, crudo e grana pizza and amatriciana pasta. Salads were pretty average, the amount of lemon in the dressing was a little overwhelming. The pizza was great, although I wish I saw that it didn't include tomato sauce before ordering it. The amatriciana was extremely delicious, cooked al dente with a rich smoky flavor and sauce that coats each bite. Slightly pricy but also the atmosphere indoor could be classy or casual, it's pretty versatile. I'd come back to try more pizzas and pastas but I'd skip the salads. read more
